I'm glad you snapped out of it.

You bring up another point about men not grasping flirting. You know, it's frustrating for us too because it's another way women get rejected by men. I've had moments where the thought has crossed my mind, "Jesus! What does a girl have to do?!? Slap you across the face with my tits!!!!!" in that internal screechy voice. Harpy voice. Lol.

Still. Nothing. No play. Just blank stares. Guy doesn't even have the common decency to blush a bit. Something. Mindless automoton mode.

And then you have some sort of thought like, "what if I was bleeding to death or the baby was choking? Is this the guy I want around for the hard stuff? Nope."

Attraction nipped in the bud.

In regards to sex and relationships, men are their own worst enemy. All an effect of poor socialization. This is the disservice dominance hierarchy has done to men.

Y'all miss so much for so long. I cheer everyone of you who get out of the trap of that thinking.
